If you hadn’t have won the £32 grand how deep would you have gone? Would you have kept going till you hit the top regardless of the cost?

 

I haven’t had a session yet where i didn’t make it. I would have carried on going to a degree yes, i had my limit set and had i have hit it, i’d have admitted defeat and gone to bed and considered that an end to my crazy run and left the game alone for a few weeks and then i would have started playing it again back down on £1.60 – £3 – £4 – £6 etc

Ignore anyone who has any negative to say as long as you are within your limits and are still enjoying it then it’s up to you how you play I have seen you lose big but win even bigger multiple times some people like to wash cars for a living you are a professional gambler and I don’t think you do bad a job at it to be honest loved how you tried to contain your excitement over a 32k win I would of probably bought the house down over a £320 win

Cheers Frosty – I had to try and contain myself or it would have been a double black eye lol I managed it quite well as in the morning she said ” well i never heard you shouting” and didn’t believe me about the win lmao

Sir a take my hat off to you, you sir have the balls of a fucking elephant! Please can I ask a question that I’ve asked many skitters and streamers and not got a serious or complete answer from any, after a large loosing session (which I know everyone has) what do you do? How do you vent? Punch bag? Dark quiet room? Smoke a spliff? Drink yourself in to ignorance? I’m asking cos I’m struggling with the swings playing cash poker, nothing like your swings but enough to make me struggle.

Cheers Briners.

When i used to gamble to excess, losing everything, the moment the last bit of funds left my gambling account and were lost i would do something like punch the laptop screen or throw the entire computer out the window – this is when you know you are gambling beyond your means.

These days i have a very calm reflection period of 10 to 15 minutes where i have a bit of a word with myself as to how silly that may have been and that is me, done. I am able to sweep the loss away and carry on. My close friends always comment on this and how they are unable to do that but for some reason, it has always been a capability of mine – providing i have gambled within my means.

Can I just ask what would you have done if you didn’t win the £32000 at that stage would you have kept on depositing or would you have stopped at a certain point?

 

 

I had my limit set mate – had i have reached it i would have admitted defeat and accepted that as an end to the crazy run i have been on. As it currently stands now, i will continue to play like i am doing, when the inevitable loss occurs, as i said, i have pre-accepted that it is just around the corner, i will return to plodding on as usual.

Great week of videos, i wldnt worry about what people have to say good or bad. I for one enjoy the videos from the comedy the honesty and the excitement. Since i started watching you, you cn see the progression of staking and also theory (may sound daft) but you seem to approach games diff to Jo Blogs amd you should take credit for that, Wild Swarm being one.

If you feel taking a break is a good thing do so, give you time to digest what you have achieved in the last month or so, but do all us all a favour come back soon as i look forward to the 2 videos a week good or bad win or loss !

Thanks Cov and as for my approach to games, I purchase land based AWP machines and look to reverse engineer them with playing styles and different concepts so yes, my approach to some things is a lot different to the norm!

The break has been mentioned more so i can preserve the feeling of a slot thrilling me still down on my regular stake of £2-£3 because the way i am currently going, i am getting very used to the bigger stakes and the euphoria some of these wins are bringing purely down to how well i have been running, i am completing session on bigger stakes on a certain select group of games and winning big and until that run is over, it is difficult to not keep pushing isn’t it.

The good thing about your videos from my point of view is that they help me to actually not gamble. I used to be on the FOBTs and online casinos regularly but watching your vids gets me the fix I need to keep me away. Not just because they are high stakes I would watch them if it was 50p a spin. Anyone saying you are irresponsible should think of this aspect as I am sure there are others like me.

I like the fact they help you not to gamble mate and it is something many other people say – of course there is the other side of the coin where they may sometimes wet someones appetite, clearly both exists – usually though, people never want to acknowledge that there is a helping side to them, purely because it usually doesn’t suit their argument lol

I love it bandit but can I ask you how many times you’ve come top on the video slots reel race? I’m sure it’s you I keep seeing hahaha

I don’t think i ever get anywhere near the top of that tbh mate, i don’t tend to play there daily, i may have a big session there but generally it will only be once a week, maybe twice. Going off the amount of points those winners have it looks like you literally have to be at it 24/7

Before I comment is there any chance you can post a link to the video on here. As the video in your first post plays but I can only see half the screen so no way of entering full screen mode. I’ve tried turning my phone around, upside down backwards  everything but still can’t make it let me enter full screen mode. Cheers

 

Any better mate?

I’l just summarise this one…

2. You are a complete bellend

3. You are way too big for your boots

How on Earth you can then say that you don’t want this to be taken personally is absolutely bonkers. When you are going to go at me like this, grow a pair and have the bollocks to sign off the post the way you intended it – a personal attack, that is exactly what is written here.

The question has to be asked, why on Earth are you still watching me if this is your opinion.

Don’t take it personally lol never heard such a fanny out at the end of slating in my life.

Mate well done on your win mate, I be watched you for the last what 18months about I’ve seen all your videos from the beginning but I can’t help but say this. I’m a recovering gambler and I had a relapse the other day an won 24k from £500 !! Now not saying your to blame one bit but as you know with a compulsive gambler it’s greed all over when you see some one winning you can’t help but give it a shot your self so I did mine paid over 24k from £500 fuck me im a lucky prick but I can’t help feel your gambling might be getting a little out of control ? Correct me if I’m wrong when you first started YouTube your stakes were 60p £1 possibly £2 but now the videos I’m seeing on a regular basis are massive stakes and yes they are paying off but this is what happened to me before I couldn’t take it any longer knew I had a problem and had to step out ! Do you mind if I ask are you completely in control off your gambling ? Just my point off view really mate but I love you videos I find them educational and watch them every single time they are up.

 

Ny advice to you Steve is pleas just be careful being all this money up gives you ammunition to gamble more and id HATE to see you shoot your self in the foot and fuck it up mate. Apart from that congratulations and keep the vids coming

 

Big fan fellow welsh man

As i said in this video – people always refer to how my stakes were 60p at “the beginning” kind of insinuating that the beginning of my gambling coincides with the beginning of the channel – this idea couldn’t be more wrong, i’ve gambled all my life. My channel starting stakes were 60p on a fact finding mission, i needed to see how games worked as i only ever played Bruce Lee and Raging Rhino but i would play those games much higher than 60p. Raging Rhino actually would depend on what sort of session i wanted, i could be found often on 80p on that game because i just wanted to zone out for a couple of hours, Bruce Lee however, i would play on £9.10 or £9.30 i can’t quite remember tbh but around that mark – 60p stakes were to try and gage what the audience wanted to see as well.

My norm is £2, maybe £3 and it has been there or thereabouts since that time back in November 2016 when i raised to £1.80 and hit £3,726 on Game of Thrones, that was the natural evolution point of my staking for all the rest of the games i play when videoing. I have certain games where i just can’t play them on £2 anymore, Wonky for example, it is gash on £2 these days so usually i will have a bigger bash on it – that is just me and my preference.

I gamble for a living and it seems people are unable to see what that requires, you simply cannot be out of control in any aspect of your day to day gambling, you have to have discipline, 100% discipline or you cannot achieve your bread and butter, your daily wage. Slots are my downtime, my relaxation away from all the figures whirring around in my head whilst trading or doing whatever other gambling activity i am earning from on that given day and when i go on a mental run, i have the pot separate from my daily banks – i will then push and play on stakes i feel i could go huge on, it is actually the most controlled thing in the world for me.This run on Reel King that i have shown in this video i have completed perhaps 50 times, at least, partially at these sort of stakes and with this kind of outcome, my answer would be yes, i have never been more in control of my gambling.

The idea of a break and why i mentioned it is because soon, perhaps i won’t get the thrill down at £2 and £3 on any game and that is not a situation i want to put myself in – i know where i am on those stakes, they are comfortable and manageable and rarely lead to being silly amounts in but i will also always play like in this video when i fancy it, whether it be in the background or up on video, it will still occur.

A fascinating insight in to your mind and thank you for being  willing to put this on for  the lovers and haters. For what its  worth, which is about a press  of an early go today, i think this more likely to allow  people to not gamble by living your  euphoria than being an idiot  and trying  to replicate.  Thanks for entertainment and enjoy winnings.

Cheers Richie, I don’t think i could be more upfront with the warnings and explanations of what this kind of stake can do to you and how quickly it can do it, people have a habit of watching but not really listening – the video is educational in the way that it shows precisely how quickly a very decent amount of money can be chewed up by these games. What if i only had £15,000. I say only, £15,000 is a huge sum of money but if someone is sat there at home watching, thinking they can play £40 a spin with £15,000 and be completely safe from going bust, this shows them that they can’t do that – surely they would watch this and think fuck, glad i have seen that, fuck those stakes.

Hey Bandit

I think most of us who watch your videos could only dream of being in your shoes or perhaps even have been before luck changes for the worst. I for one like to think I was a billy big time gambler who is now paying for his foolishness past but really I never scratched the surface of the levels you are at.

What I appreciate if that you can play a slot this way and easily go back and post out a normal video with games played at £2 for a full hour or several hours for you minus editing. I think it’s this awareness and control that allows you to do what you do.

ofcourse there are going to be haters out there and 6+ months ago maybe your videos were more of a joe bloggs realistic outcome with more losses than winning sessions but I see your videos as entertainment so please keep them coming regardless how you decide to be. Everyone needs a break from something they do everyday (even me with my dream team stuff come the summer ) so never feel bad about taking time off.

id love to understand more on your day to day money making and how it allows you to build up a life like this? Do you stick to this like any man or woman who works a 9-5 or when these winning slots sessions happen do you give that a beat seat?

finally I want to echo what a few have already said and get yourself that house for you and the family! None of my business what you are looking for but your £100k+ wins recently should go a long way towards it.

Great stuff as always Bandit!

Cheers mate.

My day to day money making involves several aspects of gambling so i am always pretty busy. Whether it be trading football, attempting to bet the horses or physically playing the fruit machines that you would find in the pubs, everything just runs from day to day. I also then have to ensure i get as much family stuff as i can get involved in and also having some downtime where i play the online games and make a video – of course the website and channel produces another earning stream now but usually that will be ploughed back in to design features or prize draws and random good deeds, charity donations or these days actually the employment of others and so on but again, that also takes a big chunk of time to administer.

The house is definitely on the horizon which is a major plus point but i have been saving for it for absolute years now – as a family we always struggled with the saving aspect, the usual reason of earning more but spending more so being in the same position would often be our downfall.
